Sentimental Gold Cartier Watch .. Fisherman’s Cove, Laguna Beach, CA. .. Found after 3 Days

  • from Newport Beach (California, United States)
Contact:

For Kim, Christmas morning started out with a family get together at her boy friends home. Then the day changed with news of the passing of a close personal friend in England. It was a totally unexpected as he was healthy and only 53 years old. She struggled through the afternoon and evening. Returning to her home to get a watch that was gifted to her by her deceased friend.  Later she walked a couple blocks that night to sit on the beach for some deep thoughts and a long cry. After a couple hours she went  home to get some sleep after a very emotional day.

The next day Kim realized the watch was no where to be found. She and everyone in the household searched the house and every inch of the two blocks from the house to the beach. She said it was such a cruel blow that such a precious memento should get lost on the day she found out it’s giver had died.
Her son had a radio shack metal detector that they attempted to use forbsesrching the beach sand. That’s when one of the neighbors told her to contact TheRingFinders.
It was already three days sense the loss and it could have been easily found  by a stranger if lost on the street or sidewalk. I assured her that I could find it if it was buried in the sand. We had to try even though there were many other places it could be.
Fisherman’s Cove is beautiful and has a small beach. As I started my grid some of the neighbors came to see what was going on. As they were talking about what had happened, I carefully scooped and pitched the sand in a pile. We all looked down and there was the White gold Cartier watch. It had been about 4 inches under the sand hiding from anybody that may have claimed it as a finders keeper’s treasure. It had survived a couple high tides that didn’t damage the mechanism.
Then the tears and cheers of happiness flowed. So many people came up to me afterward telling me how important this was to Kim.
Besides giving me a nice gratuity, I was invited to a very a awesome New Years Eve party. When, I walked in the door they announced, “TheRingFinder is here”.
When I bought my first metal detector in 1971, I would have never thought that my new hobby would take me to such a rewarding life.

Found Mans 40th Birthday Ring in Post Falls Idaho

  • from Spokane (Washington, United States)
Contact:

Picture this, you turn 40 years old and your family gives you a beautiful ring to remember that day. As fast as that memory was created it was erased by the memory of the ring falling off and making that sound that only gold can make when it falls through the snow and hits the ground. After hours of digging and renting a metal detector this man named Alex became just as lost as his ring. He went home to shovel the new snow from that day and then had to tell his wife that he didn’t find it again. Just then, a friend told his wife about my post on Craigslist. Alex gave me a call,  the journey to the location took place, my Whites Spectra V3i coil passed over that ring, and I am now writing about another happy ending to a Ring Finders recovery.  Watch my shaky video for the excitement footage :

40th birthday gift

Lost White Gold Ring w/ Diamonds Found in the Snow in Beverly Hills Michigan

Ring-ing in the New Year……..

….can be a very joyous time and a very stressful one too!, as what happened to this couple last night.
He called me this morning saying he just bought this very pretty white gold and diamond ring for his significant other and when they were pulling into the driveway early new years day and got into the house it was missing and must have slipped off her finger somewhere in front of the house.
When I got on site I set up my MXT and searched the area which contained bushes and some kind of plant stalks as landscape. There was also a few snow piles around the search area as well. I didn’t find anything in the yard or neighbors yard so my intuition told me to walk the path the way they came from in the car so I walked out into the street and across the road was the ring sitting in a snow pile in plain view! I grabbed it up and asked her if it was hers and she screamed with excitement remembering having rolled down the window to adjust the side view mirror and that’s where it must have came off hitting the pavement and rolling into the snow!
Sorry for the blurry pics.
They were very pleased that I recovered it with no damage and were very thankful for the wonderful start to 2017!

Lost Platinum & Diamonds Engagement Ring at Outrigger Canoe Club Waikiki…FOUND!!!

  • from O‘ahu (Hawaii, United States)
Contact:



This ring find began when I got a call from Ashlee who lives on Oahu. While she was standing in the shore break at Outrigger Canoe Club beach she was taking her ring off to put on her beach towel for safe keeping when it fell in the water and the next wave erased it from view. Slightly panicked Ashlee and her husband Greg tried searching for it but it was no where to be found. Ashlee went on line and looked for metal detecting service and that’s how she got my number. I was relaxing at home watching a football game but told Ashlee the game was a blow out so I’d pack my gear and come right down. Waikiki is only 10 minutes from my house but it seems like I hit every single red light and slow bus along the way. Ashlee had her husband Greg meet me in the parking garage which was nice as there is zero parking on the holidays. We walked down to the beach and Ashlee was standing in the water where her ring fell off. I started a grid around her location and down to the low tide mark but no ring. Seeing how tiny Ashlee’s fingers were and knowing it was a 1 carat diamond I suspected the first wave probably carried the ring up further onto the beach. Finally I got my first target and one scoop down there was Ashlee’s beautiful ring. My guess was right. Ashlee gave me a big hug and Greg a thankful hand shake. A few spectators on the beach told me congratulations and I thought what a great way to start the New Year. Aloha to Ashlee & Greg.

Lost Engagement Ring Found in North Spokane WA

  • from Spokane (Washington, United States)
Contact:

Today this lady named Karen decided to follow a sign from God and take a leap of faith by contacting me from the information I had posted on Craigslist. Her ring was lost over the Christmas weekend.  However, Karen did not know where it was lost or the actual day it came off. Her dear friend was trying to help her by placing an ad on the Spokane Craigslist. I was watching the lost and found section while I was on vacation and saw her ring ad pop up on the top a few times. I was also re-posting my ring finders ad as well.  These two action created a spark of hope in Karen’s heart. She called me today with only the strength to get out the message that she left and say hello when I called back. Her tears made this Ring Finder head out in 2o degree weather with 2 feet of snow on the ground  to search for a ring that may not be there. So I dawned my detectives hat when I got there and started questioning her about everything that happened that weekend. There were three spots of interest . So after searching the front drive way where she got out of her car, the walk way to the stairs and the stairs. I headed to the back yard where she had thrown a few snow balls with both her left and right hands. To give you an idea of the snow conditions, I had two hands on my metal detector to be able to move it through the  new snow layer so I could be closer to the snow that had frozen last week. The ring was under a foot of snow. It rang up as a 17 and gave me the biggest thrill to date seeing the out line of her ring in the frozen snow. I got the signal and told her fiance John that this could be it and in fact it was. After showing John the ring and giving him a hug, Karen had come back outside and saw us hugging. I quickly moved to the porch to give her the ring but her week of looking for the ring came full circle and emotions almost brought her to her knees. This was a really good new years day for both Karen and my self. God is alive in Spokane, Washington you only need to have faith that His Promise will come true. Happy New Year Ring Finders Family.

Contact:

This Ring was recovered on 12-31-16 for a nice woman who had lost it in her yard almost 2 months ago while cutting grass on about 6 acres of land. I’m not going to go into too much detail about how she lost it but I was able to find the ring in less than a hour and return it to her. I was very happy to help her out and she was very happy to see it returned after a couple months of being lost. It is always a pleasure to help someone out by finding there lost items.

Lost Gold Wedding Band at Kuhio Beach Waikiki…FOUND!!!

  • from O‘ahu (Hawaii, United States)
Contact:



This ring find started when I received a Craigslist alert for a lost gold wedding band. I just started drinking my morning cup of java and reading my email when the alert came in. The post was just 10 minutes old so I knew they must be awake so I gave the number a ring. A gentleman named Steve from Washington DC told me his ring fell off while he was walking in waist deep water at Kuhio Beach. I told him I lived 10 minutes away and he gave me some coordinates on where the ring fell off but he was leaving for Maui soon and was probably not going to be able to show me exactly where. I know the beach well and I was planning to detect that morning anyway so it might as well be there. After about 30 minutes of hunting a gentlemen came down to the beach and asked if I was Joe. It was Steve and he was able to narrow down the search area. I drew a few lines in the sand as shore markers and went to work. Steve came back and said we needed to move the eastern most mark more eastward as his wife was watching from their room in the hotel across the street and thought that area was more exact. In the end she was exactly right three lines into her extension area and I got the nice low gold tone and two scoops down was Steve’s gold wedding band. This was an hour after they departed for Maui so when I got back to my truck I texted Steve a pic of the ring. He responded immediately and asked if I could Express mail it to him on Maui. Steve got his ring back around 4PM today and sent me the pic above with it back on his finger. Aloha to Steve!

Gold Wedding Band Recovered West Edmonton, Alberta.

  • from Edmonton (Alberta, Canada)
Contact:

 

Joseph called me this morning requesting my services.  He explained that he and his wife were out this morning at a park taking photos of themselves in the freshly fallen snow that we just received over night. When they returned home he noticed his ring was missing from his finger.

Joseph quickly went on the internet to locate a metal detector to rent and instead found my blog and called me.  I told him I would be there in one hour. I meet up with Joseph and he showed me the area that they walked to,  which made it easy for me as all I had to do was follow their tracks. Within 15 minutes the ring was back on Joseph’s finger.

Thank you Joseph for entrusting me to find your wedding ring.

Another Happy Client.

Heirloom 22k Wedding Ring Lost .. Laguna Beach, CA. .. Found in Sand

  • from Newport Beach (California, United States)
Contact:

 

Juney called, he asked if I was available to help him find a ring that he thought was lost in the sand at Laguna Beach. The ring had slipped off his finger earlier on the lawn while he was brushing sand off his daughter. An hour later, four blocks down the beach, he was playing with both his son and daughter on the sand when he realized his ring was missing again.
It was dark when we met on the beach 20 minutes after he had called me. I gave him a flashlight and put on my headlamp. We walked to the site discussing where he might have been doing things that may have caused the ring to come off his finger.
Juney showed me an area 35 ft. x 100ft. I took half of that to start a grid down the center, planning to spiral outward. One pass down the center then back in the other direction. After a few feet I got a strong signal, possibly mixed with iron. I pitched a scoop full of sand on the surface and the gold ring was there on top illuminated with our flashlights.
Even though Juney didn’t know exactly where or when he lost the ring, he was able to remember the approximate location and where he had been most active playing with his kids. Tomorrow morning the beach sifting machine will clean the beach.
